Riassunto

A unique and comprehensive guide to music&;complete with a downloadable augmented reality app!
 
To understand music, you can&;t just read about it: you need to hear it. Not only does this engaging guide cover everything about the subject&;including what music is and how it&;s made, along with introductions to instruments, composers, and recordings&;it comes with a free downloadable app. Thanks to this AR feature, you can interact with the orchestra and listen to a piece by Benjamin Britten, performed by the Royal Northern College of Music Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Mark Elder. Each spread includes striking photographs and bite-sized chunks of information, plus &;Did you know?&; and &;Suggested listening&; sidebars throughout.

Features:
- A free, downloadable app that uses Augmented Reality and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices with both front- and rear-facing cameras.
- The first AR sequence profiles one instrument from each section of the orchestra&;the violin, clarinet, trumpet, and timpani. Users can view each instrument in 360°, zoom in on key areas, and listen to a short recording.
- The second AR sequence profiles the orchestra as a whole, asking users to identify which section of the orchestra the four instruments belong to. Kids can then listen to Britten&;s The Young Person&;s Guide to the Orchestra.
